2024 is the centenary of American writer James Baldwin's birth. Marking this occasion, writer and performer Dr Edson Burton is creating a new work inspired by Baldwin's travels and Burton's own coming-of-age in Bristol.

Come to this immersive performance during Black History Month to hear Burton reading live from his script for the first time, accompanied by improvisational piano, film and photography. After the performance there will be time for a drink and conversation with Edson and friends. 

This event takes place in the Youngwood Room, Lower Ground Floor, RWA.

Tickets are available on a 'pay what you can' basis from £3 and include a complimentary soft drink.

Your ticket price supports the charitable work of the RWA and will help people of all ages across Bristol access life-enhancing creative workshops.

Doors Open: 2:45pm
